<p>The <a href="https://mamc.edu.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Maharaja Agrasen Medical College</a> at Agroha, Haryana, has floated a tender to enter into a power purchase agreement (PPA) for power from a 1 MW of rooftop solar system under the RESCO model.</p>
<p>The RESCO or Renewable Energy Service Company model is a system where the developer owns the solar project, and the consumer only has to pay for the energy generated.</p>
<p>The power producer will bear the system’s cost of ₹50 million (~$684,343). The college will purchase power from the developer at the contracted rate.</p>
<p>Interested bidders must make an earnest money deposit of ₹1 million (~$13,687). Bids must be submitted on or before January 28, 2021.</p>
<p>The power producer’s scope of work entails the design, manufacture, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of the rooftop solar projects on the institution’s premises. They must provide a warranty for the project along with operations and maintenance services.</p>
<p>The power generated from these projects must be supplied at a contracted rate on a per kWh basis. The work must be completed in 300 days.</p>
<p>To be eligible to participate in the competitive bidding process, applicants must have a channel partner operating on the RESCO model from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.</p>
<p>Alternatively, they must have installed similar solar systems under this model. They are also expected to have a financial turnover of ₹60 million (~$821,211) in the last two financial years.</p>
<p>As per Mercom’s <a href="https://mercomindia.com/product/india-solar-project-tracker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">India Solar Project Tracker</a>, the state has a cumulative installed rooftop solar capacity of 125 MW as of Q3 2020.</p>
<p>An increasing number of educational institutions are opting for renewable energy to meet their energy needs. Recently, Central Electronics Limited <a href="https://mercomindia.com/bids-invited-rooftop-solar-uttarakhand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">issued</a> a tender for 2.285 MW of grid-connected rooftop solar systems at the G.B.

<p>Of the educational institutions turning towards renewables, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has been the most active. NTPC recently <a href="https://mercomindia.com/ntpc-3-mw-rooftop-iit-jodhpur/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">invited</a> bids for setting up a 3 MW grid-connected rooftop solar project at IIT Jodhpur.</p>
